The Makio - University of Illinois

Dedication
So nigh is grandeur to our dust,
So near is God to man,
Wlien Duty whispers low,
Thou must,
The youth replies, / can.
It is with the most sacred emotions of gratitude and pride that
the Makio inscribes this
volume to the sons of the University who
have dedicated their gifts, their trained skill, their very lives to the
service of the nation and to the cause of human freedom.
No mere
words can honor them; no memorial, however sublime, can
add to the imperishable grace of their sacrifice.
Yet the quiet highhearted
chivalry with which they, whom the Univeisity had cherished,
laid aside selfish aims and went forth to battle against a foe
that knew neither knightliness nor mercy, compels a tribute of remembrance
and makes praise an honor not so much to them as
to him who renders it.
And so the Makio ventures to hope that a
book which to all
of them, perhaps, has brought back memories of
the laughter and the gay friendliness of happier days may now without
presumption, offer them the homage of its love, its reverence,
and its profound devotion.
